I have to admit I'm a bit clueless on all the specs and basic design of these new discs but I was just curious how much can these new discs hold? In terms of television series, can more episodes fit onto a single disc than the current incarnations of non-HiDef DVD's.

From what I've been able to gather:

Blu-Ray capacity (pre-recorded playback storage):
Single layer: 23.3GB, 25GB, or 27GB
Dual layer: 46.6GB, 50GB or 54GB.

In addition, since the layers are thinner than HD-DVD, in theory more layers can be added to reach capacities of: 100GB-200GB (25GB per layer).

HD-DVD capacity (pre-recorded playback storage):
Single layer: 15GB
Dual layer: 30GB

The other question as to how much you can fit on a disc depends. If the TV show is stored at high-def I don't think it will reduce the number of discs much, but from the Blu-Ray website:
